Website Watchman 3.3.1

Monitor, archive, go back in time.. Website Watchman is an easy to use website archival utility.

Features:

  • Monitor a whole website, part of a website or a single page
  • Set up configs for multiple sites / pages
  • Schedule hourly, daily, weekly, monthly scan
  • Be alerted to any changes, visible text, source code or changes to the page's resources
  • View and be able to demonstrate what a page looked like on a particular date
  • Be aware of every change to a competitor's page / site
  • Runs locally, not a cloud service. Own your own data.
  • An archive is kept, including all changes to pages, images, style sheets and js
  • View a 'living' version of a historical page, not a screenshot
  • Switch between versions of the page to compare them
  • Export a historical page as image or collection of all of its files
  • Export the entire site, preserving all files as they were on a given date, or processed to make a browsable local copy of the site

Version 3.0.0:

  • Adds Preference: Prevent scheduled scans if on battery or UPS power
  • Consolidates 'Monitor only' and 'Don't archive / compare all linked files' into 'Monitor only'. No longer archives images if this setting is on. (Changes to images will still be reported as long as the image url changes. Pages may look broken in the archive browser or at least devoid of images)

Frequently asked questions

How do I install the app?

Mount the image, drag the app into the "Applications" folder and launch it. If the system blocks the launch, allow it in "System Settings → Privacy & Security".

The app is damaged or won't launch

Reinstalling from a fresh image usually helps. Make sure your macOS version matches the one listed in the compatibility specs.

How do I update?

Download the new version from the site and install it over the current one — your settings will be preserved.

The download link doesn't work

Try a mirror or a download manager. For large files the browser often drops the connection.

How do I completely remove the app?

Use an uninstaller utility — it cleans up the service files that remain after moving the app to the trash.
